Suite Asturiana
Suite Asturiana More about the music Asturias,
a region in the north of Spain surprises with archaic songs accompanied by the sounds of bagpipes. This unusual combination is of an unique and fascinating expression.

Flamenco like rhythms of castanets and guitars are seldom heard in this country. Especially the folkmusic reveals the celtic heritage of this culture and evokes the magic aura of ancient rites and costums.
The folksongs are like a profound mirror reflecting
the numberless traces of asturian history, their mostly simple but highly poetic letters are still
very popular among the youth.
